<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Coffee is so much a part of our society that it's hard to avoid it. Wherever you visit, whether for business or pleasure, you are always offered coffee. Yet it is often the case that we only become coffee drinkers out of habit, but don't actually like coffee all that much.<\/p>\n
But the result is the same: coffee, or caffeine, is addictive and not healthy for the body in the long run.<\/p>\n
Here are a few suggestions on how to kick the coffee drinking habit.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Coffee is not addictive in the same way as alcohol, for example. In other words, we don't have to give up drinking coffee forever and then never drink another drop. It's just about stopping a bad habit and staying in control. If you feel like you're drinking too much coffee, just stop for a while and only drink a little later on when you feel like it.<\/p>\n
I'll tell you three ways to give up coffee consumption or at least cut back considerably without experiencing withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n
All three methods take into account that part of the addiction consists of consuming a hot drink. Hot drinks are not usually consumed to quench thirst, but for socialising or stimulation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you are one of those people who actually like the flavour of coffee but not decaffeinated coffee, I suggest a kind of compromise. Instead of completely giving up the pleasure of a cup of coffee, simply drink coffee drinks with less coffee content but full coffee flavour, for example cappuccino. You get the same amount of pleasure with much less caffeine consumption.<\/p>\n
While a cup of coffee (150 ml) contains approx. 80 mg of caffeine, a cup of cappuccino made from 50 ml of espresso and 100 ml of frothed milk contains only approx. 50 mg of caffeine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Switch from coffee to tea. It is advisable to make this switch slowly over several days, as the flavours are very different. However, as we humans are creatures of habit, you only need to get your palate used to the new flavour. However, you should do this gradually so that you don't have an unsatisfied feeling when drinking a cup of tea.<\/p>\n
For example, you can start by replacing one or two cups of coffee with tea and gradually increase this depending on how many cups you drink a day. I suggest starting with black tea, as this also contains caffeine (20-50 mg per cup), giving you the desired kick that you get from coffee. Make sure you treat yourself to a high-quality, particularly enjoyable tea, such as Earl Grey.<\/p>\n
Once you have got used to drinking tea, you can switch to herbal teas. A good choice is rooibos tea, as it is not dissimilar in flavour to black tea, but contains no caffeine and is very easy on the stomach.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Switching from coffee to Caro coffee. Caro coffee is a substitute coffee (grain coffee) that many of you may remember from your childhood. It contains no caffeine. The flavour is of course different and may take some getting used to, but it is available in many variations.<\/p>\n
For a gradual changeover, I recommend first mixing Caro coffee with regular coffee. Mix in a ratio of 1:3, then gradually add more Caro coffee. At some point you will be able to replace the coffee completely.<\/p>\n
As with all stimulants, it's just a question of habit. It is cosy to drink a cup of hot coffee in a circle around the table and we are so used to the taste of coffee that we believe everything else is inferior.<\/p>\n
But the fact is, we can also programme ourselves the other way round. If we get our body (and our brain) used to the new flavour long enough, it becomes a new habit and we might not want to drink coffee at all. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Kaffee ist so sehr Teil unserer Gesellschaft, dass man kaum daran vorbeikommt. Wo auch immer man zu Besuch ist, ob beruflich oder gesch\u00e4ftlich, es wird einem stets Kaffee angeboten.
